If you wish to change a shortcut's icon, you will never find anything useful among the default icons, even if you are using the latest Windows version. You could look for better icons on the Internet, but a better idea is to create your own icons. IconMasterXP makes this operation quite easy. It allows you to use images of any size, in various formats and it also gives you the possibility of making various adjustments.

IconMasterXP is free to try without any functionality restrictions. It comes in a small package and it can be installed in a matter of seconds. The application works on Windows 2000 and all later versions, up to Windows 8, including the 2003 and 2008 Server editions. It doesn't have any special requirements and you don't need to sacrifice too many resources to run it.

The application provides a small user interface, with clear and easy to understand controls. Imported images are listed on the lower half of the window and you can preview them on the upper half. Additionally, you can find various options, located on a toolbar and in top menus, which allow you to resample your images, change the gamma, contrast and other characteristics, colorize, apply filters, for sharpening or softening images, or perform other actions.

IconMasterXP provides support for all popular image formats. Loaded pictures can be exported in ICO, PNG, BMP, JPG and many other formats. The best part is that the application won't resample your images and it doesn't force you to perform this action. In other words, IconMasterXP serves other purposes as well, besides creating icons. You can make basic adjustments on your pictures and store them in different formats, without creating any icons.

Pros

The application allows you to turn almost any pictures into icons. It supports a wide range of input and output formats. It is also possible to make a series of basic adjustments on loaded pictures.

Cons

The application may not satisfy the needs of advanced users, such as professional designers or developers. If you wish to customize your desktop with your own icons, you can use IconMasterXP to create them with only a few clicks.
